Violent clashes across Egypt have been taking place not just between the supporters and opponents of deposed President Mohammed Morsi of late. During times of upheaval, the Coptic Christians in Egypt always suffer abuse, and now is no exception. The...

It isn't just in Egypt. Wherever there are Arabs, there is a concerted
effort to destroy Christianity, Judaism and any other minority. In Gaza,
Jews are already extinct as of the 2005 genocide orchestrated by war
criminal Ariel Sharon. Now Hamas is busy trying to drive out what's left
of the Palestinian Christian minority.

Slowly the West is learning that no nation in which a majority of its
citizens adhere to "Islamism" can establish a fair and just
democracy. More important than mere democracy are individual liberties,
tolerance and acceptance of a broad range of human differences including
religion, ethnicity, race, sexuality, sex, physical and mental
capabilities, a strong separation of church and state, and other items
enshrined in the United States Constitution and other
"Western" traditions. In particular, the belief that one
religion should dominate in the legal and political sphere is simply
incompatible with fairness and justice. Such a “democracy”
is actually a mobocracy, the lowest, most degenerate form of government.
Such nations are probably better off with a benevolent dictatorship
which tries to stimulate many of the other important values while trying
to lead the people to a recognition that religion should be separate
from government. In the case of Egypt, Egypt was better served by the
Mubarak government than by what came after. Also, Mubarak's last
election was not significantly less democratic than that of Morsi.
Mubarak was actually the first democratically elected leader of Egypt.
The United States should support the development of a non-Islamist
government in Egypt, a government with a strong barrier between
"church" (mosque?) and state. We should not try to enforce
such a preference militarily but we should support the principles we
favor in peaceful ways. I hope that Egypt's next attempt to establish a
post-Mubarak government will be more successful than its first.

As the same with Syria Egypt's protesters seem to be the same as the
the rebels in Syria.and no better than their vile leaders. In the midst
of it all Israel is swimming in her usual calm waters. (bless them)

This is a real proof that no one nation actually cared for democracy.
The Egyptian army did not follow their code of ethics to support the
democratically elected government of the day. Did the army really cared
about the National Security when the violent protesters burned down the
Brotherhoods Head Quaters? This was a real coup and a real Treason by
army supported by many players from outside of Egypt. The real trouble
makers in all the corners of the world.
